Abstract
Len Annetta, Marta Klesath, and Shawn Holmes describe virtual learning environments (VLEs) and the use of avatars to foster social presence in these environments. The article examines how gaming and avatars are engaging online students and the role personality may play in the ways students select their avatars. While their study confirms the role of avatars in maintaining social presence in VLEs, the authors propose that students be allowed to modify their avatars to reflect their more flexible personality traits as learners.
